Community Contributor Chris Raia

NORTH HAVEN, CONN. - AT&T is collecting food donations for the holiday season at each of its 38 company-owned retail locations across Connecticut.

Beginning Dec. 4 until the end of the year, North Haven residents can drop off donated food items at the AT&T store located at 166-170 Washington Avenue in North Haven. All donated items will support the Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare Connecticut.

"We are thrilled to support the tremendous efforts of Foodshare and the Connecticut Food Bank, and we are honored to play our small role in helping needy families in Connecticut enjoy the holidays this year," said John Emra, president, AT&T Connecticut. "Our employees across the state are looking forward to connecting with our local customers and pitching in to support a great cause."

"Thanks to AT&T for giving people an opportunity to help fight hunger in Connecticut," said Connecticut Food Bank Interim CEO Paul O'Leary. "More than half a million people in Connecticut struggle with hunger. These donations will make a daily difference in the lives of neighbors in need."
